Abstract

The Blind Owl is Sadegh Hedayat's magnum opus and a major literary work of 20th-century Iran. Fredric Jameson, an American literary critic, published an essay titled “Third-World Literature in the Era of Multinational Capitalism. ” His argument suggests that third-world literatures are necessarily national allegories, reflecting the political and social realities of those nations. Jameson believes Western powers occupy parts of the country teaching youths in these regions to reject their own cultures in favor of Europe’s. This study examines the Western cultural invasion and the identity crisis in The Blind Owl and discusses the literature of the third world in the capitalist era. This study intends to state that Hedayat's novel is an Allegory of cultural reform that has been reconstructed in a modernist framework.
